Boxing Cartoons
« on: February 26, 2009, 02:27:27 PM »
How much grovelling would I have to go through to get some simple boxing cartoons from you amazingly talented cartoonists: one of a contestant jumping in victory over a fallen opponent in the ring; one of an opponent down and trying to get up; one of two opponents trying to out-stare each other; and one of the opponents in the their corners.

Male and female versions would be even better.

I need to do (myself) red and blue versions of each, so just line drawings would be fine - no shadings.

No grovelling necessary at all, Mincey - money will do fine!
I apologise, in advance.

That's normally the half-minute rate, yes.

Half a minute equates to two drawings with your skills.

Don't make me do them myself and embarrass you both.

So, by Friday night - have them done?

You draw them, Mince. I love the concept of pilchard-art.

And here I was going to give you free English lessons in return. Well, you can forget that now.












Does anyone have any clipart I can use?

Mince, I'm presuming this request is a tongue-in-cheek attempt to rankle the cartoonists who visit this site.
For those not in the know, this is probably the number one bugbear in our profession. "You're a cartoonist? Could you dash off a couple of your doodles for me? My son loves surfing. Could you draw him on a surfboard in his Arsenal shirt, waving to the rest of us on the beach? And make me wearing a Tottenham shirt---that'll be really funny!"
Needless to say, a fee for this is never mentioned. The assumption is that no time is involved, we do it for a laugh and we'll happily work for nothing.
This assumption is not correct.

I think Mince is serious.
